"While we're on the topic of fire, let me bring something else to your attention. You set a very dangerous precedent in the last Night Below session with fire and wooden objects. To quote the sunder rules from the srd "Electricity and fire attacks deal half damage to most objects." Not only did you have the fire bypass the hardness of my tower shield (which it should not), but you had it deal (I'm assuming here, because I did not see the rolls) full damage. This is, of course, not mentioning the fact that piercing weapons cannot be used to sunder (without a feat, and then at 1/2 damage) and bludgeoning arrows do only subdual damage (which also can't be used to sunder)."

My response:  I could have had the clerics nuke you.  Instead, I made a snap ruling on the spot, which would have resulted in your shield becoming a cool magic item.  Since you are set against my ruling, consider it waived.  Your sheild is restored to health, and it will not become a legacy item.  I aim to do right by my players.
